Double Bass BSX Bass: Dimensions.

[zimbodel]

On the BSX Webpage they list the Allegro as having the following dimensions.

Length 56”, Width 11 1/2”

If you have such a BSX Allegro, would you mind to clear the following questions up for me ?

Question 1
If someone have a full size BSX Allegro, can you tell me between which points the 56" is measured ?

Measuring one I tried, I dont get 56" from bottom of tailpiece to top of bass.

Question 2
What is the scale length measured between the bridge and the nut for the "" Length 56”, Width 11 1/2” "" Allegro ?

The Lower bout measurement is obviously between the widest part below the cuts.

Thanks

I get close to 56 1/2" from the top of the scroll to the bottom of the tailpiece. 41" from the bottom of the nut to the top of the bridge. Lower bout is closer to 12 3/8".

Thank you very much for the reply.
I am in the process of buying a BSX.
The one I tried, advertised as Length 56”, Width 11 1/2” "" Allegro, was an upright BSX, but with a scale-length of 27 " , which is less than some Fender electric basses.
The overall length of the BSX bass was 41" not 56 1/2" as you reort
This does not qualify as an upright bass and more like a Cello.
I could not find any reference to this on BSX website.

Can you confirm that the widest part of the lower bout is 11 1/2" ?
Also that the scale length is not 27" ?

Thanks for your answer.

Cancel my request for lower bout. You already provided that, I apologize.
Can you confirm scale-length ?

". 41" from the bottom of the nut to the top of the bridge."
You gave me all the information.
I apologize for misinterpreting your response.

I probably reacted on an earlier version and you edited in the missing details.

That gives me all I need thanks.
